OT: Modern Bulls = 90's Knicks

2010 · Post #1 » by **2010** » Fri May 15, 2015 2:58 am

* Coach Thibodeau = Riley/JVG disciple who preaches defense
* Team is big, rugged, plays defense but has a limited offensive offensive system
* Injuries abound and seemingly never at full strength
* Cannot get by Lebron the way the ole Knicks couldn't get by Jordan

I don't want to hear anymore NBA analysts or fans suckin' da Bulls. They are the 90's Knicks reincarnated. Always close but no cigar. In fact, they fall short of the 90's Knicks because they don't ever even make it to the finals. If all goes well this offseason I see no reason why we can't take their spot. Rose is brittle. Noah has an old body and is breaking down. Pau Gasol's age will eventually catch up to him. etc.

90s Knicks would destroy the Bulls, they ain't got no Patrick Ewing.

Rose injury in 2012 buried them.

Geez, he isn't literally comparing the Bulls team to the 90s Knicks. He's just saying they are the team that keeps losing to that star player and cock blocking them from the title. Doesn't matter if the 90s knicks can beat this Bulls team.

And I agree 100% on what the op is saying.

A) How many NBA finals appearances have the Bulls had over the past five years?
B) How many hall of fame coaches have the Bulls had over the past five years?
C) How many times were the Bulls the favorite in the East over the past five years?
D) In how many seasons in the past five years have the Bulls played in a conference in which at least 5 teams were legitimate contenders?

If you want to compare the Bulls to a 90's team the Indiana Pacers are the team.

It's a assessment, c'mon guys. The Knicks list too the Bulls in the first round, second, ECF. Didn't matter, we always lost to the Bulls...of the 90s I mean. I think the comparison is dead on. And one could say the current Bills got it tougher cuz Ewing never got hurt until after his prime really ended anyway..

I really like the modern Bulls and Pacers. Yeah that sounds blasphemous but hey, the Knicks stink right now and teams like these along with the Grizzlies in the west are my last bastion of hope against the tide of spread offense and euroball that's taken over the nba. I'm not a fan of the team so much as a fan if thier style.

Was just saying this to my buddy yesterday who is a Bulls fan. It's karma for all those years MJ prevented us from getting ahead...same thing is happening with them and Lebron.

If LeBron took a 2 years break like MJ did, they would have made it to the finals too.

We're a 17 win team, so slow down on taking their spot. Let's just make the playoffs before we start yapping our gums.

Also why do we even want their spot? I'd rather build a real title contender, than a perennial playoff loser.

17 wins will be irrelevant when we're fielding a completely different team next year. 2 or 3 meaningful acquisitions can completely change the complexion of a team. You damn right I want their spot, their seed, their expectations and beyond. You seem to have battered fan syndrome and lack confidence.

No, that's Memphis

Gasol= Ewing

Conely/Lee = Starks

randolph=Mason

Great comparison. Lebron is to the new Bulls what Michael was to us back during the Ewing years. The only difference is that Michael would win every final he was in pretty easily, leaving our 90s Knicks feeling that their matchup was the actual Finals.

Gasoft and Charles Smith.

That would imply that the Modern Cavs = 90's Bulls wouldn't it? If so, the Cavs aren't close to being the Bulls.

You have no idea what our roster will be, and neither does anyone else. While I'm not saying a 17 win could never become a top conference contender in 1 year, I am saying the odds are highly against it happening.

It's not battered fan syndrome nor lack of confidence, it's called living in reality. If you wanna believe the Knicks are contenders next year, then more power to you. Just don't get too upset and run around kicking puppies if it doesn't come to fruition.

I think it has to do with Lebron = Jordan, and with a Bran led team beating the Bulls 4 times in the playoffs.

Apparently he actually owns them

I think Ewing would feel insulted if anyone compared him to Gasol. Ewing was one of the top 50 greatest players of all time; I don't think Gasol even cracks the top 200.
